    Trip Report Malawi and Mozambique May 30 – June 14, 2003 Bean/Cowpea CRSP Prepared by Dr. Jess Lowenberg-DeBoer & Manuel Duarte Filipe Purdue University Department of Agricultural Economics 1 This publication was made possible through support provided to the Bean/Cowpea Collaborative Research Support Program (CRSP) by the Office of Economic Growth and Agricultural Trade, U.S. Agency for international Development, under the terms of Grant No. DAN-G-SS- 86- 00008-00. The opinions expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the U.S. Agency for International Development. 2 Report of Trip to Malawi and Mozambique, 30 May to 14 June, 2003 By J. Lowenberg-DeBoer, Manuel Filipe and Patrick Kambewa Executive Summary The general objective of this trip was to create the basis for starting a data collection process for the Bean/Cowpea CRSP research work in Malawi and Mozambique and for the doctoral thesis research for Manuel Filipe. Below the specific objectives are listed, along with the information collected in response to that objective: 1) Develop a preliminary description of the bean and cowpea market structure in Malawi and Mozambique – Beans are widely traded in and between Malawi and Mozambique (Figure 1). Within Malawi beans from the Dedza (e.g. markets in, Ntcheu and Dedza districts at Lizulu, Chimbiya markets respectively) tend to go to Lilongwe and Blantyre, while those from the southern part of the Dedza area (e.g. Tsangano Turnoff) and from Mulanje strictly go to southern Malawi city of Blantyre. Within Mozambique beans from Gorué tend to go to Maputo, while those from Alto Molocue go to Nampula.

  • A Review of Open Education Policies in Lesotho and Malawi
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by IDS OpenDocs SOFIE Opening Up Access Series No 5 Keeping children in school: A review of open education policies in Lesotho and Malawi Chris Yates Institute of Education, University of London Cover photo: © Rachel Wood Published by SOFIE © 2008 Institute of Education, University of London SOFIE is a three year Research Project supported by the UK Department for International Development (DFID) and the Economic and Social Science Research Council (ESRC). Its purpose is to strengthen open, distance and flexible learning (ODFL) systems and structures to increase access to education for young people living in high HIV prevalence areas in Malawi and Lesotho. It seeks to achieve this through developing a new, more flexible model of education that uses ODFL to complement and enrich conventional schooling. It also seeks to encourage application of the new knowledge generated through effective communication to development agencies, governments, development professionals, non-governmental organisations and other interested stakeholders. Access to education and learning is being viewed as a ‘social vaccine’ for HIV but in high prevalence areas orphans and other vulnerable children are frequently unable to go to school regularly and are thus being deprived of the very thing they need to help protect themselves from infection. In this context sustained access is critical to long term improvements in risk and vulnerability and it requires new models of education to be developed and tested. The partners The research team is led from the Department of Education and International Development, Institute of Education, University of London and the research is being developed collaboratively with partners in sub- Saharan Africa.
